It would probably be easier if the author put the words to music. Since he's writing in a San Francisco paper, I'm sure there's some show tune he knows that would fit the situation perfectly.
How about to the music of the Nutcracker Suite?
Heh heh. One of the guys on my team just seems really homosexual. He's a nice guy and a hard worker but has this sort of "hitler youth" quality if you get my drift. Just a little "too clean". Anyway, he wears a wedding ring and he talks about his wife and stuff so I figured my radar isn't perfect.
At least, I THOUGHT he talked about his wife.
Friday we were talking about his moving here and the housing collapse going on here in Seattle and asked how long he had been married and he said, "Oh I'm not married. I have a partner. He works here in the legal dept.
Go figure...
On a side note, immediately when I realized, the first thing I thought was, I wonder if his butt ever hurts.
